The lost art of .....penmanship......having you over for coffee...spontaneity ....giving. My great aunt, Mary Katherine Geddie, affectionately known as Khaki, was famous for her penmanship. I still meet people that knew her, and the one thing they always say is, "She had a beautiful handwriting". I bet she never imagined that she would be remembered for her 'letters'.

What do you think you will be remembered for in the year 2060?

I hope mine is giving, but I'm afraid it's not.

In this world of quick, ready-made, from freezer to oven, from drive-through to table, it's a rare and lovely thing to know people who have the gift of giving. Two of my friends, Kim and Jamie, have just that. Pictured above are beautiful candy cane cookies (who takes the time to dye dough and wrap it?) and authentic fair candied apples (you have to pick your friends carefully to rate one of these after the fair has left town).

This is so true... You dont need friends to live, but they sure do make the journey sweeter. =)

I love giving and receiving homemade things! Sacrificing our time to do for others is a great gift in itself. The lost art of......the list is endless.
